The Jet Lag Reset | The Simple Science to Resetting Your Body Clock


Listen Later

On my last trip to San Francisco, something unexpected happened: I didn’t get jet lag. Normally, I’d spend the first few days wide awake at 3 a.m. and desperate for a nap by lunchtime — but this time, my body adjusted almost instantly.


In this episode, I share the two surprisingly simple things that made all the difference: moving my body and drinking chia seeds. We’ll talk about why exercise acts like a reset button for your internal clock, how chia seeds can keep you hydrated and regular while travelling, and the three “anchors” your body uses to sync with a new time zone — light, movement, and meals.


Plus, I share practical, easy-to-remember travel habits that genuinely make you feel human again:

  • How to use sunlight and exercise to reset your circadian rhythm
  • The chia-seed hydration trick that supports digestion, skin, and energy
  • Why timing your meals and caffeine can make or break your recovery
  • And small tweaks - like magnesium, electrolytes, and morning walks — that make travel so much smoother

Whether you’re crossing continents or just hopping time zones, this episode is your quick, no-nonsense guide to beating jet lag without expensive supplements or rigid routines.
